  1. 'Valuable' has always been a problematic word I think. A fuzzy concept.
  2. I think the Jays announcing tandem of Buck Martinez and Pat Tabler are good. Buck can be a little annoying at times but they both know their stuff. And if the Red Sox are beating up on the Jays they don't whine about it, they give credit to the Sox.
  3. There was a runner a second, I would guess that was the reason for the mound visit.
  4. I'm not sure anyone can top Harold Reynolds for talking pure jaw-dropping nonsense. Last night or the night before he was raving about how overrated OBP is.
  5. Also, not meaning to be a wet blanket, but the 1912 team only played 154 games, and 2 of them were ties. They had 47 losses.
  6. The playoffs are the only thing that matters to me. Regular season W-L records are quite irrelevant except for getting you into the playoffs.
  7. The chump that wrote this has a serious grievance against the Giants LOL
  8. The Red Sox began 2014 with Bogey at SS and Middlebrooks at 3B. Middlebrooks got off to a lousy start, then got injured. They had to do something. Drew was still out there after his free agency fiasco and Ben was able to sign him for 9.5 mill, put him at SS and move Bogey to 3B. But nothing worked out very well in 2014, for whatever reasons.
  9. The fact that you're saying this based on a 4 inning sample in which he allowed 4 hits, 2 walks and 1 HBP kind of shows how we're feeling about the pen right now.
  10. Pretty sure he can't go 3-4 innings every 3rd day.
  11. I believe Hembree has the best numbers of any of the relievers for not allowing inherited runners to score, and that's why Cora has been using him in that role.
  12. Yeah, I'm sure a nice relaxing win like this one convinced everyone we're on cruise control LOL Obviously the math for the division is looking pretty sweet. But baseball is a tough grind no matter what.
  13. If you look at the WAR calculations, offense accounts for a significantly larger portion. That's why Xander has a big edge on Iggy, or on JBJ. I'm assuming that the WAR calculations have this right. If they don't have this important premise right, they're not much good, that's for sure...
  14. You're right. JD hitting 3rd 269 PA 318/383/594 - 977 OPS JD hitting 4th 316 PA 344/421/667 - 1088 OPS
  15. Barnes has a hip problem and is out indefinitely. Starting to look like DD may have made a significant tactical error thinking the bullpen didn't need to be upgraded.
  16. But the more interesting thing that's revealed is that the superior hitter gets the edge over the superior defender. Not because stat geeks don't value defense enough. Because you just don't get as many chances to truly make a difference on defense as you do on offense.
  17. Bogie is the superior player of course. The question is whether we'll be able to meet his free agent price. If we can't, Iglesias might be a possible candidate to replace him. He's become a fairly solid 2.5 WAR type guy at least...
  18. It's unreal how many young pitchers go down.
  19. I'd rather welcome back Buchholz.
  20. Season to season fluctuations like those are nothing new. The averages still work out to a pretty large 127 point difference.
  21. Machado career home OPS 888 Machado career road OPS 761 The splits definitely support your point.
  22. How much do you think Pomeranz will get after this year?
  23. Just noticed that Kopech got lit up last night for 7 ER in 3.1, allowing 4 long balls. Welcome to the bigs, kid.
  24. Can't forget Joe Kelly plunking the punk.
  25. It's Dombrowski Magic!
